KITCHEN TRANSFORMATION
Flow is just as important as function and storage when it comes to a kitchen’s design. The challenge for our client was that her kitchen felt, “closed off from the rest of the home,” which has a modern open layout. The cabinets, countertops and backsplash were standard builder selections and fell short of adding any excitement to the space. Our client’s number one wish was to open up the kitchen to the rest of her home. Adding color and selecting rich finishes would give way to a dynamic personality for her kitchen. She didn’t have the budget to overhaul the cabinets but knew it needed some life and light. These photos are of the original Kitchen…
We removed a section of cabinets that separated the kitchen from the living room in order to achieve the open-flow design our client was intent on. A beautiful granite slab replaced the original tile countertops. Task lighting was an issue so additional ceiling cans and under cabinet lights were added to improve the light quality throughout the space.
The taupe glass tile brings movement and pattern to the backsplash and is highlighted by the under-cabinet lighting.
The upper cabinet doors were replaced with frosted glass panels to give a more open, light feel.
The finishing touches to the renovation: a rich Benjamin Moore paint color selected for the kitchen and hallway, and a fabulous Laura Weitzner wall covering applied to the floating wall…color and texture are easy ways to bring attention to an architectural element.
In the end, the room was transformed from an ordinary kitchen to a space the client absolutely loves!!!
